Savage Axis II Pro Feeding Issues

[Kelen.Pritchett97]

So my brother bought a savage axis II pro in 223 for a thermal rig. The gun shoots fine but the magazine is ridiculously hard to load, and won’t feed the first and third round, doesn’t matter how fast or slow you run the bolt, it just won’t feed. I’ve reached out to savage and have had no response. Does anyone have any suggestions for a remedy or possible mag conversion kit?

If it's the metal magazine you need to tune the feed lips. If you CALL Savage and give them the serial number on the rifle, they'll send a new magazine for the rifle. The new magazines are all polymer and work much better.
